Controllability of nonlinear degenerate parabolic cascade systems

Mamadou Birba, Oumar Traore

Abstract:
This article studies of null controllability property of nonlinear coupled one dimensional degenerate parabolic equations. These equations form a cascade system, that is, the solution of the first equation acts as a control in the second equation and the control function acts only directly on the first equation. We prove positive null controllability results when the control and a coupling set have nonempty intersection.
